Actor to play cop in pilot that stars Gandolfini

Bitton will play by-the-book cop Officer Maldonado in the pilot. HBO vet James Gandolfini is headlining the project loosely based on the BBC series of the same name from Peter Moffat. Richard Price is penning the pilot, with Steve Zaillian helming.

Bitton has appeared in HBO miniseries “The Pacific” along with broadcast dramas “Private Practice” and “Harry’s Law.”
